Hey Neil!

What your are saying here are big "nothings". Thats no argumentetion. You're 
just conservative - thats all. If you wan't to keep the "old" style the its 
ok but _please_ do not turn other ideas down like that. Please stick to real 
arguments.

I can't say wich style is better. Why not try a new thing... It worked too 
from KDE1 to KDE2. Of course Keramik has to be "bug free" like the old 
fashioned style but we've got some time till the 3.1 release...

cheers,
Raffaele
